ITG.

Please tell them , here , who you really are.
I would like to see you fight and win …. really.
If you are REALLY that financially capable of fighting them, then why don’t you ?
It would be for the good of all those that can’t, after all.
Hurt them even more by beating them in a citable court battle … that will hurt them even more than
sharing files, since we all know that sharing files does not harm them in the least.

Who’s the coward ?

There is two possibilities:

1) I am a needle in a hay stack despite the massive amount of stuff I am sharing.

2) They know that if they bother me the situation will escalate , they know what this mean and they are affraid since they are just a pack of coward like any typical bullies preying only on the weaks.

Be strong man! Be very strong! Promise them hell, give them hell and they will go away!

BOYCOTT THE RIAA/MPAA! Protect the innocents, attack the parasites!

Let be the new knights of the 21first century! Humanity needs us.

In the long run ?
Absolutely not.

I don’t think they are really all that concerned about the long run.
Considering how many of the court cases are going ( RIAA beginning to get their asses handed to them )
they are looking only to fill as many of their own pockets as they can, and fast … and by their own
pockets I DON’T mean any of the artists they CLAIM to represent.

They are playing game of percentages that will soon go against them.

“Gonna sing canned music that my label feeds me
Oversaturate the marked ’till everyone is sick of me”

Oh trust James@war it will happen!

“At what point do we just abandon any pretense of making peace with these gangsters? When will it be time to declare war on them, to engage in file-sharing not because we love music, but because we hate the record companies?” — Cory Doctorow

Figure for every one of the students sued, it would not be out of bounds to say that there will be 5 more saying indie music is the way to go after hearing of their friends plight. That big music is not worth the hassles of dealing with the protection DRM on them, the crap they dish out, the out of sight prices, the low quality, and as a pure spite. They may be collecting today but what about tomorrow when they find out they can’t give away their music; that no one wants it.

Funny thing is, last year or so, they enlisted a bunch of young teens to a workshop for how to improve. As a reward for their time with the workshop and with surveys, they were offered a table full of cds that they could pick through. No one of them wanted the first cd. It tells you how the future of the music business is headed right now. If you thought you were hearing the major labels crying before, wait another few years.

Really ?

Lets look at those college kids that were sued, and paid the 3000 to 5000 extortion fee ?

How much money do you think one may spend on average on cd’s per year ?
I guarantee it’s less than the extortion amount.

Much less.

Just by collecting from ONE student they have made up for the sales lost ( from lackluster product, to video games, DVD’s, and
other competition ) from 50 to 60 customers.

This is the only business model they have left.

I agree. Once upon a time Big Music’s business model was to sell people music they wanted. They soon developed a taste for “controlling” the market, a.k.a. “payola”. From there things steadily deteriorated to the point where now litigation and lobbying comprise the majority of the Big Music Cabal’s so called business model, valid or not.

This is very right. The parasites of the music and entertianement industry where leaving things.

Until now.

As we’ve seen, the intention, win or lose, is to bankrupt the victim guilty or not through legal fees, else settle out of court. They can do this to anyone, regardless of whether a person has any involvement even with a PC, or if a child or even a deceased person. Then they can go after the relatives to ruin their lives instead. These hideous beasts must be stopped in their tracks. But who will do it? So long as the law is either on their side, or complacent about it, they bulldoze and steamroll on.

When will local govts put their foot down and change the laws to protect the innocent instead of the rapacious wolves? Who knows, but I’m sure it not only feeds the “justice” system constantly but also provides hefty income taxes and bribe revenue, so it could take some length of time.
